my grandmother advised me never to love something that could not love you back.

Does this constitute a crisis?
Isn’t the term “sodomite” extremely archaic?
I live in a state that has allowed same-sex marriage for many years. I can tell you for sure it has not affected my marriage, nor the marriage of anyone I know.

Will school be cancelled tomorrow?
Are we talking about the USA? That sort of ad is patently illegal here.
I have voted for women before.
I like it here in my shell.
I would, if she were the best man for the job.
Our new rabbi does it. She is an ashkenaz, but she is from Israel.
we may have solved the problem. I typeset our ketubah, and had it printed on a large sheet of paper. Afterwards, we had an artist friend adorn the perimeter of the ketubah.
I wish I could afford a second name.
My attractiveness is also well into 2 digits.
Google it.

I don’t like to brag, but mine is well into two digits.
is he Joseph?
when you first became lactose intolerant, what were your symptoms? How long did it take to get the correct diagnosis?
According to the apple app store, there are several CPA review courses for the ipad for about $35 each.
denim pants were first manufactured in America by a Jewish immigrant from Bavaria named Levi Strauss. Doesn’t this make them Jewish clothing?
in the book Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything a 2005 non-fiction book by University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and New York Times journalist Stephen J. Dubner, there are several chapters devoted to naming. I don’t remember the entire gist, but I remember two stories of names determining destiny, or not.
The first was a girl named “Temptress.” She was a 15-year old girl whose misdeeds landed her in juvenile court due to her ungovernable behavior. Her mother meant to name her “Tempestt” after a favorite actress, but there was a slip between intent and what went on the birth certificate, and the mother admitted to not really knowing what the word ‘temptress’ meant until much later. The judge asked the mother if some of the ungovernable behavior might stem from here name.
The other story involved two brothers from the Lane family of New York. The first one was named “Winner.” Three years later, a younger brother was born and named, “Loser.” He was not so-named because the father who did the naming was displeased with the new baby, but because it had a nice bookend effect.
Loser Lane did in fact succeed. He went to prep school on a scholarship, graduated from Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, and joined the New York Police Department, where he made detective and, eventually, sergeant. Although he never hid his name, many people were uncomfortable using it. To his police colleagues today, he is known as Lou.
And what of his brother? The most noteworthy achievement of Winner Lane, now in his late 40s, is the sheer length of his criminal record: more than 30 arrests for burglary, domestic violence, trespassing, resisting arrest, and other mayhem.
Was it their names that determined their path in life?
Was it her name that sent Temptress down the wrong path, or was it the mother who just didn’t care enough to give her baby a decent name?

I’m sure she will popularly be called Princess Kate.
She is very pretty, appears to have a good personality and excellent character. Those were enough reasons for me to marry my wife, not necessarily in that order. My wife was a commoner, too.
CPR is easy to learn. These days you don’t even have to put your mouth on the other person’s mouth.
If you were on the floor unconscious, would you want a kind individual to keep your brain from dying until the ambulance came? Don’t answer this questio too hastily.
Alternate form of the question: if someone passed out in front of you, would you want it on your conscience that you just let him die?
Now Kate is Her Royal Highness Princess William Arthur Philip Louis, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus. Until last Friday, she was just a commoner.
dear Oomis, what proof would satisfy you?
Awaaaaaaaay we go!
He’s really, most sincerely dead.
Yes, I have noticed a few more. I think they add to the conversation nicely.
Mazel tov to the bride & groom. Mazel tov to their parents & grandparents. Mazel tov to her majesty, who, after all, is a pretty nice girl.
I wish them along, happy life together.
It appeals to our inner princesses and our inner princes.
It comes out to about 70 pence per Briyon per year. That’s a bit over a buck each. Quite an entertainment bargain. Probably much less than we pay for our heads of state.
he sure is a prince, and at one time was fifth in line to the throne, after his royal uncles and his mother.
Now he’s 11th in line.
as for being a capital “P” prince, that is up to the reigning monarch to decide who is styled a Prince and addressed as His Royal Highness.
If your grandmother were a queen, you would be a prince.
act British, think Yiddish.
George I may have been an ignorant lout, but his genes only comprise a small portion of the current royal’s makeup. There have been many kind, decent, intelligent, hardworking and even philosemitic descendants.
Happily married monarchs seem to include, their majesties George III (Fat George), Victoria, George V, George VI and Elizabeth II. Hardworking conscientious monarchs include George III, Victoria,George V, George VI and Elizabeth II. Edward VII maintained friendships with Jews, despite the public and press pressure not to.
Who among us does not have a lout or two in our family tree?
better dead than alive, though.
I do not think UBL’s death will make a big difference at all. It will make Americans feel better for a few days, but that’s it. Nothing really has changed.
I don’t think it will make a big difference at all.
lets consolidate this with the other thread.
